"Yeah! DS sorted"

Well, I can't get in to the original DS for £130 post, so here's the update....

Finally got through to the Nintendo people for the VIP DS pack.

Bloke on phone "And how old are you?"

me "er.....32...."

Bloke on phone "So you won't be needing a parental consent form then?"

Anyway, he told me that it should be with me by end of next week, otherwise I should phone back, and that was without prompting him for a delivery time. Good news, it seems....

You should have asked for a form nonetheless.

Good news mate. I hope mine turns up before next friday as I'm off to London on the friday night so I would at least have something to do on the coach there!

I was told I'd get mine at the begining of next week.

Indeed, better to be safe than sorry!

Well yesterday morning I rang the number and was told the computers were down and to ring back later.

I attempted many times to be met with an engaged ring tone.

Attempted again this morning to be met with the engaged tone three times. The forth I got through and was told was 9th in a queue. Around six minutes later I got through to some boy who's voice hadn't even broken who took my payment and advised I would get my DS pak either Saturday or Monday.

You guys probably don't care, but you could get a DS with Mario 64 and Metroid demo (no WW demo) from vgc.ca and still probably pay less than £130 or thereabouts.

Suppose it doesn't matter now though, best to get a UK one with warranty etc.

no dead pixels, but anyone find the sound gets tinny after a while? it's fine when you just nudge it either way.

I'm so tempted to get a PSP imported from china for £180 delivered. but the fear of a dead pixel puts me off. I dont want to take that risk again!

I've had no problems with the sound. Except that it sounds fantastic in surround with earphones on.

As for PSP, I'd wait for the UK release. Can't return it unless there's 5 or more dead pixels? Balls to that.

5?? I really wouldn't be happy with one!

time to abuse GAMES refund policy if it's going to be the case.
but with reports of it getting put back to september :-(

still at least we get the firmware updates and the buttons that stay on the console
